To promote awareness of the Child Information Sharing Scheme (CISS), the Victorian Department of Education (DET) commissioned Early Learning Association Australia (ELAA) to develop a practical resource-The ABCs of CISS to address the key questions early childhood teachers, educators and leaders need answered to be able to participate in the scheme with confidence.
The Practice Guide was developed to provide practical and contextual information, supporting authorised early childhood education and care (ECEC) workforce to use the Reforms. It is intended to be used in conjunction with the legally binding documents outlined in the Reforms. It provides step by step information, infographics, and case studies specific to the ECEC sector.
The guide will contribute to:
- greater awareness of the schemes, and the roles and responsibilities of services
- ECTs/educators feeling more confident about their role and capability to share information
- improved quality and timeliness of requests for and responses to requests for appropriate information sharing
- greater collaboration and coordination with other services; and
- a shared commitment to child wellbeing, in particular between universal, secondary, and tertiary services.
